The Prussian Lash in Africa. By " Africanus." (Hodder and

Stoughton. 2s. 6d. net.)—Some of our Bolsheviks would like to restore to Germany her lost colonies. No decent man who reads this authoritative little book on German rule in Africa will fail to con- clude that that horrible system must never be re-established. Legree in Uncle Tom's Cabin was an angel of light compared with the German officials, whose systematic cruelty is illustrated from unimpeachable evidence. It would be a crime against humanity to let the Germans resume their evil work in any part of Africa.
